Farmers Branch, TX, September 7, 2023 — Vacuum Interrupters, a leading manufacturer of replacement vacuum interrupters, pole assemblies, parts, and components for medium-voltage vacuum circuit breakers and contactors, introduces the RP176 replacement vacuum interrupter.
This direct fit-and-function replacement unit for the OEM RP176 vacuum interrupter meets original equipment ratings and is intended for use in the LR-300 vacuum circuit breaker. The RP176 is built to provide excellent high-voltage insulation, high cumulative and breaking capacity, exclusive internal torsion control, and an exceptional vacuum seal thanks to a fine alumina ceramic.
The replacement vacuum interrupter offers 630 A RMS-rated current, 15.5 kV RMS maximum voltage, 110 kV peak impulse withstand, and 12.5 kA RMS-rated short-circuit breaking current.
